The Lortab didn't work. The antiobiotics didn't work. Ibuprofen and Aleve, up to 20 a day of each in addition to the Lortab failed to bring it under control but finally were abale to send a message through to my brain that said something like 'If you don't turn off the goddam pain alert, he is going to pain-pill himself into a coma.'

So I slept. Most of yesterday then all last night. I feel like I've been hit by a truck. My tooth has actually risen higher than the other teeth, and I don't know if that's because it's building something nasty underneath it, or if it just wants to leave at this point.

I'm at work now, but all I want to do is sleep. My stomach is queasy, all I can give it is water to calm it.

Sorry for the pity party, but it is what it is I'm afraid.
